Wich language do you want to learn and why?

Question

I really want to start learning Russian language, because it's strange for me (I'm Spanish), but it sounds me really nice. Also, I love Russian literature and I hope I will be able to read some day a Dostoievsky or Tolstoi's book in Russian...

Answer 1

Persian...they have very interesting literature like poems and qoutes and stuff...which does not sound as charming if translated to anyother language...

Answer 2

For me , I'm learning Italian now because I adore the culture and the language has a nice tone...,And I would love to learn Spanish because mom speaks it and have studied in Spain and because it sounds nice and it is widely spread...:)..who knows maybe I will learn some other languages later.....

Good Luck with Russian:)

Answer 3

Chinese - spoken by 1.2 bn people (or more) it will be important to know it for the future, as China opens up more to the rest of the world.

As for the language itself, I think I'd have a real sense of achievement learning the characters (ideographs?). Not to mention managing the tones - I understand that there are 5 possible tones in Mandarin (7 in Cantonese) for each diphthong, meaning that a slight difference in pronunciation can change the whole word.

And behind the language there's a whole new culture for someone from the west to discover.

Answer 4

1) German - I love the sound of it. The culture also seems pretty interesting. I'd love to visit one day.
2) Dutch - Same as German.
3) Spanish - Mainly because so many people in the United States use it. I wouldn't bother otherwise.


Maybe:
1) Swedish or Norwegian - I've always been interested in Northern Europe.
2) Russian - I'd consider it, though doubtful I'd ever visit the country.

Answer 5

I've started learning Norwegian. I have relatives in Norway.
I'm learning Greek. I like Greeks. They have one of the most original languages in the world, compared to Latin, in which most are borrowed from Greek and then Romanized. Where there should be a "kh" in Greek, they changed it to "ch", there is already a "ch" sound in Latin, pronounced as in "kitchen". The Russians also borrowed from Greek, but you don't see Russians messing up the original Greek spelling, because if you transliterate back into "English", it will be the same as Greek.

Answer 6

I started learning French this year because.. I don't know why! I'm Argentinian and I figured that Spanish and English weren't doing enough. Russian is hard, girl! good challenge! Good luck!

Answer 7

I speak English, Spanish,
Irish, and French. (Poorly)
I tried Japanese , but no go.
I am trying Russian next, or
possibly Semitic.
There has to be a language,
that I can learn, and sound normal.

Answer 8

Well, I already speak English, French and German and I'm learning Chinese. In 3 years' time I will be fluent in that, so I want to learn Welsh in the future for definite and Italian because it's similar to French but different too...

Answer 9

I would LOVE to know Spanish better, I know some, I took a Foreign Language class which introduced it, and I have been to Mexico a few times, Spanish is interesting and I want to know more.

Answer 10

I think I'd like to learn Chinese... I'm already learning Spanish, and I'm taking a German class next year. But who knows what language(s) I'll end up learning!

Answer 11

a hot language is spanish. if you want to learn a new language to be able to get a lot of money, german and chinese are the next 2 options for sure.
